Fortran to matlab conversion

Hi, I am trying to convert a code from Fortran to MATLAB and I am stuck. I basically need to output the results, using write command in Fortran but within a loop. Does anyone know how to do this in MATLAB? Below is the Fortran code. Thanks
module WriteResults
use globvar
implicit none
contains
subroutine estimates
implicit none
integer :: t,j,k,s,i
CHARACTER(len=40) :: temp1,temp2
real(8) :: P(ntime,nfac,nfac) !Variance of factor
real(8) :: rho(ntime,nfac,nfac) !Variance of factor
open(1,file='observation.out')
do t = 1, ntime
do j = 1, nequation(t)
k = eqindex(t,j)
write(1,'(2I,<nx+nfac+1>f16.8)')t,k, beta(t,k,:), Z(t,k,:), H(t,k,k)
write(1,'(2I,<nx+nfac+1>f16.8)')t,k,sdbeta(t,k,:),sdZ(t,k,:),sdH(t,k,k)
write(1,*)
end do
write(1,*)
end do
close(1)

Do you mean that you have some MATLAB m-code with some variables, and you want to have m-code that will output results to a file in the same way that the above Fortran code does? Or something else?
Also, please format all of your code above so that it is more readable.

@Jessica: Please do not post 2 question about the same problem. See: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/43720-error-when-using-writeif-statement . And, as far as I remember I ask the 3rd time, please format your code properly. If you are in doubt, follow the "? help" button, which appears when you create or edit a message. Or read http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/13205-tutorial-how-to-format-your-question-with-markup .

Jessica,
This is Ben Barrowes. I see you are making progress converting this.
This bracket syntax is meant to be a variable repeat specification as explained here, for example: http://astro.uni-tuebingen.de/software/ftnchek/f77.html
What it means is that the f16.8 should be used nx+nfac+1 times. Sorry f2matlab did not convert this for you. This line in fortran:
write(1,'(2I,<nx+nfac+1>f16.8)')t,k, beta(t,k,:), Z(t,k,:), H(t,k,k)
Should have been converted by f2matlab to be:
writef(fid_1,[repmat('%i',1,2),repmat('%16.8f',1,nx+nfac+1)],t,k, beta(t,k,:), z(t,k,:), h(t,k,k));
The other lines with the bracket notation would be similar. Thanks for catching this.

I can't find any documentation for ‘writef’ in MATLAB. I believe the correct current MATLAB function is ‘fprintf’.

Right, writef is a function supplied by f2matlab when it converts the fortran to matlab code.
